'I trust my eyes, not the forecast': Alexandria is sinking. Why don't local fishers believe it?
The ancient Mediterranean city is at risk as sea levels rise. But most people in the vulnerable fishing village of El Max believe it will always weather the storms of time.
Alexandria is one of the world's sinking cities, along with Venice, Miami, Lagos, Jakarta and others. An IPCC report predicts that with global sea levels rising at the current rate, and without adequate preventive measures, thousands of kilometres of the Nile delta could be fully submerged by 2100.
A Mixed Migration Centre study that interviewed 100 residents of the suburb found that 90% of them had no plans to leave the area and only a handful believed that the rising water was even a threat.
